Pegasus World Cup Remains ‘Targeted Race’ For Stellar Wind

Champion Stellar Wind remains on course for a start in the G1 Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park Jan. 27.

The Daily Racing Form reports that the chestnut mare is currently in training with trainer Chad Brown at Palm Meadows.

Stellar Wind was purchased by Coolmore at the 2017 Keeneland November sale. The original plan was to retire her and breed her to American Pharoah this year. However, the plan changed shortly after purchasing the mare, and she was instead sent to Brown in Florida.

“She continues to train well, and as of now, we’re moving forward towards the targeted race, which is the Pegasus,” Brown told the Form.

“She’s scheduled to do a little more, have a little more serious workout this weekend, and we’ll really know where we stand with her after that.”
